I am totally obsessed with cheesecake! If you’re a follower of Manila Spoon, you probably noticed that I have so many cheesecake recipes on the blog. I can’t remember the exact number, but it’s close to 10, I’d say.

What can I say? I just love this creamy, cheesy dessert, especially when smothered all over with a luscious fruity or berry topping! It’s simply irresistible!

I love cheesecakes so much that I won’t feel guilty breaking my diet (whatever diet I may be on then) just so I can eat a slice of it! For me, it would all be worth the extra calories!!!

So when we were in England last month, and I was tasked to make the dessert for Sunday, I had no second thoughts about making cheesecake again.

This time, though, since only five of us would eat dessert, I decided to make individualized no-bake cheesecake parfaits!

Because we were in England, it was natural to make it with English strawberries—they are the tastiest and juiciest kind. 

It worked perfectly well because I already have a tried-and-tested recipe for strawberry sauce, which I pair with cheesecake when I can. I simply made the sauce, which didn’t take too long to make, and that’s entirely from scratch. Guess why? This tasty, sweet-tangy sauce has only three ingredients! Yes, you read that right—three-ingredient strawberry sauce! Need the recipe? You can find it here.

You can certainly use other berries for topping. My other favorite is blueberry sauce, which is also perfect for this. Find the recipe for blueberry sauce topping in my favorite blueberry cheesecake recipe here.

Are you more of a raspberry fan? No worries—here’s the link for my easy 2-ingredient raspberry coulis, which you can use as a berry topping! It’s so delicious, too, and with just 3 ingredients—it cannot be any simpler or easier!

I love that this recipe is so doable and convenient because you can make each layer (crust, cheesecake filling, and berry topping) a day ahead. Then, when you are ready to serve, you can simply take your pretty little serving glasses and assemble the parfaits, and in minutes, you have one delicious dessert!

That’s exactly what I did. I prepped them all Saturday night, and everything was ready the next day. Easy-peasy!

Notes

TIPS & TRICKS

Each layer of the parfait may be made a day ahead. Simply assemble when you’re ready to serve.

To make it easier to place the cheesecake inside the glass, spoon it into a piping bag then push it into the glasses. 

If you don’t fancy making the berry sauce (though I highly recommend doing so as the berry sauce makes these parfaits crazy delicious!) simply use your favorite fresh berry in season.
